Note that the list of companies here is not exhaustive. There are just too many that exist in the galaxy
to be able to list them all here.

Major Manufacturers

Most of the manufacturers of equipment here have transcended petty local dealings and are now pan-sector
corporate giants, having established trade relations with hundreds of systems either directly or through distribution and franchises.

Arakyd Industries

Fields:

Weapons, droids

Well-Known Products:

Mark VI Inquisitor Seeker

Arakyd Industries was a strong supporter of Palpatine and grew in power during the years of the Empire.
It is best known for non-humanoid droids, as it values functionality over appearance. Its work in jet-based propulsion for its droids has allowed it to
expand into jet- and rocketpacks. Since the Galactic Civil War, Arakyd has sold its products without concern of political background, but many in the New
Republic remember the company as a fervent supporter of the Empire.

Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles (A/KT)

Fields:

Uniforms, armor

Well-known Products:

Blast Vest and Helmet, Tuff1 Combat Jumpsuit

A major corporation that concentrates its efforts in clothing, A/KT was formed in the days of the Old
Republic of a merger of Ayelixe Fabrico and the larger, struggling Krongbing Interstellar Fashions. Studiously neutral to the point that its employee
regulations prevent membership in a political party, Ayelixe/Krongbing sells uniforms to most organized military forces in the galaxy, often supplying both
sides in a conflict. It also maintains a thriving consumer division, both with specialized survival clothing and planetary fashion trends.

Baktoid Armor Workshop (BAW)

Fields:

Assault weapons, droids

Well-Known Products:

Trade Federation Battle droid, AAT battle tank, MTT troop transport

A powerful corporation in the time of the Old Republic, Baktoid was the chief arms supplier for the
Trade Federation, responsible for various types of battle droids as well as heavy assault vehicles seen in the assault on Naboo. BAW has a reputation for
encouraging insurrection and supplying dubious buyers. By the time of the Empire, Baktoid Armor Workshop was a shell of its former self, though its
equipment was still available, particularly on the Outer Rim.

BioTech Industries

Fields:

Medical equipment

Well-Known Products:

Fastflesh Medpac, RFX/K Medisensor

A co-operative venture of Neuro-Saav and the Tagge Company, BioTech has become one of the galaxy's top
medical and cybernetic manufacturers, trailing behind only Chiewab. BioTech has led the way in biotechnological implants but is best known to galactic
consumers for its medpacs and medical scanners. While not able to break the stranglehold of Bacta manufacturers like Zaltin, nor to compete in the area of
medical droids, it covers just about everything else.

BlasTech Industries

Fields:

Weapons

Well-Known Products:

DH-17 Blaster Pistol, E-11 Blaster Rifle

The market leader in personal energy weapons and light artillery, BlasTech also makes starship weaponry,
laser and ion cannons, and missiles. The corporation has benefited from the rise of Palpatine's Empire, and its weaponry has become standard issue for the
Empire's stormtroopers. Despite this, the corporation has proved to be extremely even-handed in its dealings, and its weapons are ubiquitous throughout the
civilized reaches of the galaxy.

Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company

Fields:

Medical equipment, chemicals

Well-Known Products:

GliS Emergency Medpac

A powerful chemical corporation, Chiewab owns over 600 systems outright and is the leader in the
biotechnological field. Its strength is in chemistry and electronics, and it excels in this over its leading competitor, BioTech. Aggressive in its
research and development, Chiewab is interested in new planets and new substances that it may develop and add to its product family. In addition to drugs
and chemicals, Chiewab is deeply invested in agriculture and nutritional supplement.

Cybot Galactica

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

3PO Protocol Droid, WED Treadwell Repair Droid

One of the top two producers of droids in the galaxy (the other being Industrial Automaton), Cybot
Galactica has built its success on humanoid droids, in particular the 3PO protocol droid, but its droid empire spans the range from binary load lifters to
security droids. Cybot Galactica sells its droids both as finished models and as customizable kits, so individual preferences vary widely. Cybot Galactica's
economic power can be felt from the Core Worlds to the Corporate Sector.

Czerka

Fields:

Weapons

Well-Known Products:

Flame rifle, Adjudicator, Vibroknucklers

The third largest weapons manufacturer of arms (behind BlasTech and Merr-Sonn), Czerka makes personal
energy weapons but has had its greatest success with non-blaster weapons such as flame projectors, vibro-weapons, and slugthrowers. It is the industry
leader in the field of "non-standard" munitions. In the days of the Old Republic, Czerka sold to any buyer with the credits, but during the time of the
Empire, it has "officially" signed an exclusive distribution deal with the Empire. During this period, a large amount of Czerka munitions found its way out
of the warehouses and into aftermarket sales. Following the establishment of the New Republic, it has followed its sales to this new galactic powerhouse
and actively courts their business.

Drearian Defense Conglomerate (DDC)

Fields:

Weapons

Well-Known Products:

Defender sporting rifle, Activv1 Riot Shield

The DDC is a strong presence in the Inner Rim and Expansion Regions and makes a wide variety of weapons,
including blasters, grenades, and missiles. The Drearian Defense Conglomerate profits from an agreement to provide munitions and arms designs for the
Corporate Sector Authority, which the CSA manufactures. DDC also has arrangements to provide blasters for Arakyd Industries and Cybot Galactica, which are
then incorporated into those companies' droids.

Fabritech

Fields:

Security and communications equipment

Well-Known Products:

PAC20 Visual Wrist com, SE-Vigilant Sensor Beacon

A leader in starship sensor technology for decades, Fabritech manufactures personal comlinks as well as
smallscale sensors. Its components are found in equipment from the Old and New Republics, as well as from Empire ships. Able to take the punishment of a
variety of planetary environments, Fabritech products enjoy a deep and diverse penetration in a variety of markets.

Golan Arms

Fields:

Weapons

Well-Known Products:

FC1 Flechette Launcher, RL-40 Stun net launcher

During the rise of the Empire, Golan Arms was a major manufacturer of military weapons. Disputes with the
Imperial bureaucracy resulted in a curtailing of its existing contracts, and while the company avoided nationalization, Golan did become a natural ally of
first the Rebellion and later the New Republic. Golan Arms designs tend to be copies and refinements of designs of other major manufacturers as opposed to
original works, and they have done well in non-blaster-related munitions.

Incom Corporation

Fields:

Vehicles, starships

Well-Known Products:

MVR-3 Speeder Bike, T-16 Skyhopper, X-wing Fighter

A well-established designer and manufacturer of starships and vehicles, Incom was a long-standing supporter
of the Old Republic. As the Old Republic decayed and was replaced by the Empire, Incom did not change with the times, its designers and managers actively
resisting Imperial bureaucracy. As a result, the company was nationalized by the Imperial Throne, and most of its design talent joined the Rebellion, taking
with them the designs the now-legendary T-65 X-wing Fighter. During the Galactic Civil War, Incom produced designs for the Imperial Navy, and the company has
been struggling since to regain its market share in starships and civilian vehicles.

Industrial Automaton

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

R2-series Astromech Droid, ASP labor droid

One of the two largest droid manufacturers in the galaxy (the other being Cybot Galactica), Industrial
Automaton has built its success on high-AI, dedicated-task machines. Industrial Automaton droids are built to handle a specific task incredibly well, but
they also show versatility in dealing with new situations. Industrial Automaton droids dominate the astromech droid category, while its 2-1B Surgical Droid
and MD specialist droids are found in most decent hospitals and its inexpensive ASP labor droids are found in systems throughout the galaxy.
Hallmarks of Industrial Automaton droids are their expandability and easy maintenance.

Kuat Drive Yards (KDY)

Fields:

Heavy military vehicles, starships

Well-Known Products:

HAVw A5 Juggernaut, Imperial Star Destroyer

Kuat Drive Yards, a family-dominated business from the Kuat system, has long been a powerful force in
starship design as well as planetary defense and mobile assault vehicles. Its executives were strong supporters of first the Old Republic and later the
Empire, and during the rule of Palpatine, KDY became the premiere manufacturer of capital ships for the Empire. Shortly before the Emperor's death at Endor,
KDY was sold to a group of investors who were believed to be Imperial hard-liners but turned out to be Vaathkree merchants with strong Rebel sympathies.
The reorganized Kuat Systems Engineering supports the New Republic, but as with its relationship with the Old Republic and the Empire, the company demands
high prices for its goods.

Merr-Sonn Munitions

Fields:

Weapons, explosives

Well-Known Products:

Class-A Thermal Detonator, G8 Blaster Rifle

BlasTech's chief competitor in weapon sales, Merr-Sonn provides everything from personal weaponry to large
ship systems, the latter through its subsidiary Merr-Sonn Mil/Sci. It is best known for its wide variety of grenades and other explosives, and Merr-Sonn is
known for having "More boom for the credit." It has a thriving and related civilian arm, Merr-Sonn Industrial Equipment, which makes mining and construction
vehicles. Like its rival BlasTech, Merr-Sonn is extremely flexible in dealing with buyers, and the company does not let earlier wars and previous rivalries
get in the way of a sale.

Neuro-Saav Corporation

Fields:

Communications, scanners, cybernetics

Well-Known Products:

VXI-3 Electrotelescope

A major electronics and technology firm, Neuro-Saav components are used in many vehicles, vessels,
droids, and installations. In addition, the company produces its own line of communication and detection devices for general sale. Its products are
found throughout the galaxy and have a solid resale value on the black market.
With the Tagge Company, Neuro-Saav owns BioTech, maker of medical equipment and cybernetic devices.

Rendili StarDrive

Rendili StarDrive is a starship-manufacturing company based on the planet Rendili. It is one of the ancient
Founding Shipwrights.

StarDrive was associated with companies such as Rendili Vehicle Corporation, Rendili/Vaufthau Shipyards LTD., and Rendili-Surron. Rendili Star Systems was
apparently a subsidiary of Rendili StarDrive. Although dating back to the founding of the Galactic Republic, Rendili was one of the original sponsors of the
Corporate Sector Authority.

The corporation maintained an extensive system of smaller yards spread throughout the Mid Rim and Outer Rim regions. It was placed in the limelight when it was
chosen to build the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser for the Republic prior to the Clone Wars and when the Republic was developing the Victory-class Star Destroyer
during the conflict, Kuat Drive Yards gave Rendili StarDrive a contract for the design, much to the delight of the latter.

In the era of the Galactic Empire, Rendili was less favored by the government and the Navy, but their older ships remained in widespread use, and they remained
one of the few facilities that could construct spaceframes significantly larger than Imperial-class Star Destroyers. This included special weapons platforms and
large battleships.

Roche Corporation

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

J9 Worker Droid

A non-Human corporation founded by the insectoid Verpine, Roche survived the rise of the Empire, when many
alien companies suffered. Roche droids are cheap and dependable, which makes up for their often-alien appearance and programming. Roche is the common name
for the company; the literal-minded Verpine refer to it as "Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's
Machines."

Santhe/Sienar Technologies

Fields:

Droids, military vehicles, starships

Well-Known Products:

E522 Assassin Droid, TIE fighter

Sienar has had several incarnations. During the Old Republic, it was known as Republic Sienar Systems and
was a successful starship manufacturer. The fall of the Republic brought merger with Santhe and diversification into Sienar Army Systems, Sienar Fleet
Systems, and Sienar Intelligence Systems. It has close ties to the Empire and its successor states.
Santhe/Sienar works on direct commissions only, so most Santhe/Sienar equipment in common use is secondhand or was purchased on the black market.

SoroSuub Corporation

Fields:

Weapons, droids, vehicles

Well-Known Products:

X-34 Landspeeder, V-35 Courier, C1 Comlink

A far-flung galactic corporation with hundreds of subsidiary corporations, SoroSuub is based on Sullust,
where it employs over half the native population. SoroSuub enjoys a diversified base, ranging from agriculture and mining to manufacturing armaments,
vehicles, starships, and droids. In weapons technology, it is noted for licensing the designs of other corporations for production, but SoroSuub has used
those designs to produce original weapons as well. Its products are acclaimed for their durability, and the company is one of the best-known corporations
in the galaxy. A strong supporter of the Old Republic, SoroSuub continued to support the Empire even though most of the Sullustan population had Rebel
leanings. At the close of the Galactic Civil War, the corporation had evolved into a strong supporter of the New Republic, and it continues to enjoy side
distribution throughout the galaxy.

The Tagge Company (Tagge Co.)

Fields:

Everything, in particular vehicles, security devices, and computers

Well-Known Products:

Air-2 Swoop, Magnacuffs, A-A5 Speeder truck

One of the largest and most diversified corporations in the galaxy, the influence of Tagge Co. (and its
majority shareholders, the Tagge family) can be felt on every planet that was once part of the Old Republic. Rising to power with Palpatine, Tagge Co. was
a staunch supporter of the Empire. Following the Empire's fall, its operations were supervised by observers from the New Republic. Tagge Co. hides its
ownership of agricultural, mining, and manufacturing operations through a variety of names, subsidiaries, and joint ventures. It is the force behind
Mobquet Swoops & Speeders, as well as Trast Heavy Transports, Gowix Computers, and the Biscuit Baron restaurant chain. It also controls BioTech Industries
with Neuro-Saav.

Ubrikkian Transports

Ubrikkian Transports is best known for its bulk cargo handlers and its spacious luxury land- and
airspeeders.
Utilized by large species such as Hutts and by wealthy clients who demand elbow room, Ubrikkian craft are found on most civilized planets and in orbit in
most of civilized space. The corporation bases its success on its superior repulsorlift technology and has branched into a number of repulsorlift-equipped
goods for industrial and military use.

VargeCorp

Fields:

Personal equipment

Well-Known Products:

PS-xqt9s Pocket Scrambler

A manufacturing and direct sales conglomerate, VargeCorp's products are of average durability and
reliability at best. However, it makes up for its mediocre product through aggressive retailing and franchising, and it sells a wide variety of common
personal items. What most people remember is not the product but the firm handshake and high-pressure pitch of the VargeCorp salesbeing.

Veril Line Systems (VLS)

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

EG-6 Power Droid

An ancient corporation with a strong corporate heritage of superior industrial products, Veril Line
Systems has made its greatest impact with construction and labor droids. The common EG-6, found on almost every planet, is effectively the mascot of this
company, which prefers functionality over appearance. VLS has never engaged in making military droids, munitions, or starships, and for that reason has
remained on good terms with the various galactic and planetary governments over the years, even through its main headquarters remains on Coruscant.

zZip Product Concepts Ltd.

Fields:

Luxury goods for the wealthy

Well-Known Products:

Astral-8 Landspeeder, Gladiatorial Walker

While most companies concentrate on selling as much as possible to as many as possible, zZip Product
Concepts puts its best effort on providing luxury goods for the elite. Strong, fashionable, and in some cases hand-crafted vehicles are the company's
signature pieces and are usually tailor-made for wealthy clients. A used zZip walker or landspeeder usually comes with a story or five about previous
well-heeled owners. A subsidiary of zZip, Llahy StarCorporation, makes customized space yachts.

Minor Companies

In addition to the major corporate entities of the galaxy, there are a large number of smaller
operations. These companies tend to focus on one particular product line or niche market and are often regarded as the leading edge designers in their
fields, whether they dominate the market or not.

Aratech started out before 4,000 BBY, and manufactured, among other things, sniper rifles and G0-T0
infrastructure planning system droids, including the most infamous unit, known simply as G0-T0 or "Goto". The company was often at odds with the larger
Czerka Corporation, who they saw as conservative and immoral. When several G0-T0s rebelled against the Galactic Republic in 3,946 BBY, the bad press
nearly bankrupted Aratech. The company's second attempt at networked droids was the BRT Supercomputer. Another failure, Aratech abandoned droid
manufacturing and focused on repulsorlift technology.

As Aratech Repulsor Company, it pledged its support to the Republic during the Clone Wars. Their most noted product was the 74-Z speeder bike, which
remained in service throughout the Clone Wars and the reign of Palpatine's Galactic Empire.

Bespin Motors, originally a branch of Incom Corporation, was the manufacturer of numerous air vehicles.
They were widely recognized as the primary creator of cloud cars, and were commissioned especially to build the immense Cloud City on Bespin. After the
Galactic Empire began to nationalize Incom, the chief executives of Bespin Motors were bought out by the Cloud City authorities. After the split, they
found themselves free to research and develop more highly advanced cloud cars.

Drolan Plasteel

Fields:

Archaic plasteel weapons

Well-Known Products:

P-71 repeating crossbow

Drolan Plasteel was a small company that manufactured archaic plasteel weapons. It was named after its
founder and chief designer, Malia Drolan, who was known to scour the galaxy for inspiration. The company was most well-known for its P-71 repeating
crossbow, which was based on the Wookiee bowcaster.

Gandorthal Atmospherics

Fields:

Atmospheric engineering and survival gear

Well-Known Products:

Roamer-6 breath mask

Gandorthral Atmospherics was a company in operation during the Galactic Civil War that manufactured
atmospheric engineering and survival gear.

The company was notable for its production of large industrial equipment for terraforming operations, as well as personal survival gear such as breath
masks and other goods for the private sector. The company apparently took an anti-Imperial stance following the destruction of Alderaan by the first
Death Star, and its products were promoted for use on worlds polluted by the Empire.

Gorallis Metalworking & Materials

Fields:

Manufactured various industrial and personal tools.

Hydrosphere Corporation

Fields:

Submersibles

Well-Known Products:

Hydrospheres Corporation was a company that developed technology for use in watery environments.

Imperial Munitions

Fields:

Weapons

Well-Known Products:

KK-5 Blaster pistol

A company that exists solely in the Rebellion Era, Imperial Munitions is an
arm of the Imperial Bureaucracy, whose holdings are made up of smaller companies that the Empire had nationalized. This
nationalization was often because of Rebel sympathies, but just as often the company in question had a design or product the
Empire wished to make its own. The quality of Imperial Munitions' products ranged widely, as its factories were as often
staffed with slave labor as with loyal subjects, and its management was in equal parts ruthlessly brilliant and hopelessly
inept. With the fall of the Empire, Imperial Munitions ceased to be a coherent operation, though some straggling factories
still use that name. Most of the nationalized factories, however, have been returned to their original owners or have formed
new corporations.

Kamperdine Clothing Specialistics

Kamperdine Clothing Specialists was a supplier of many varying kinds of
leather outfits.

Fields:

Vibro-Weapons

Well-Known Products:

LaserHone Duelist Vibrorapier, LaserHone Talon Vibrodagger

LaserHone was a company that manufactured various models of knives and
bladed vibroweapons. Their models were attractive because they vibrated at ultrasonic frequencies, and thus, unlike many
vibroweapons, were inaudible to many species.

Lerrimore Contracting

Fields:

Household Goods

Well-Known Products:

Various items

Lerrimore Contracting Company was a company that held 300 subsidies over
businesses in the household appliance, goods, and furniture industries. And was also one the original sponsors who contributed
to the Corporate Sector Authority.

Mekuun Corporation

Mekuun Corporation was known for its heavy repulsorlift vehicles. During the

suits for use by spacers.

Tenloss Syndicate

Fields:

Disruptor Weapons

Well-Known Products:

DX-2 Disruptor Pistol

The Tenloss Criminal Syndicate was a criminal organization based out of the
Bajic Sector. They owned the Modirin Mining Concern, and as a result of the mining company's chromium scam on Aduba-3, they
controlled most of the planet. However, they had very little presence there, only sending a ship to collect rent every so often.
The Syndicate manufactured the Hornet-class Interceptor, and illegal weapons such as the DX-2 disruptor pistol. Trillot had
relations with the Tenloss Criminal Syndicate.

Traxes BioElectronics

Xucphra Corporation

Fields:

Bacta

Well-Known Products:

Bacta

The Xucphra Corporation was one of two bacta-producing corporations in the galaxy. It was based on Thyferra.

Zaltin Bacta Corporation

Fields:

Bacta and Bacta Tanks

Well-Known Products:

Bacta

Together with the Xucphra Corporation, the Zaltin Corporation produced and
marketed bacta for the entire galaxy. The corporation was based on Thyferra, and, along with Xucphra, was granted a contract
by the Empire to produce bacta. This contract gave Zaltin and Xuchphra a monopoly that came to be known as the Bacta Cartel.

Unlike Xucphra, Zaltin was more sympathetic to both the native Vratix and the Rebel Alliance, and entered the cartel out of
necessity. Feeling the Empire was doomed and recognizing the Vratix would eventually seek independence through the Ashern
terrorist organization, Zaltin sent Bror Jace (whose family was a primary stockholder in Zaltin) to fly in Rogue Squadron and
began providing covert assistance to them in the form of money and security.

During the Bacta War, Zaltin was outlawed by Ysanne Isard, their members either imprisoned or fleeing into the jungles to join
the Ashern. They provided aid to Wedge Antilles and his group as they attempted to liberate Thyferra, accepting members of his
team into their ranks and sending Jace to join them again. After the war, Zaltin was allowed to produce bacta again, this time
for the Vratix.

Dead Companies (or soon will be)

Not all companies survive in the cutthroat world of galactic business. The following entities have
fallen by the wayside, but their equipment is still commonly seen in service.

Medtech Industries

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

FX Medical Droid

A long-time manufacturer of medical droids, MedTech went out of business during the Galactic Civil
War, despite numerous retrenchments and staff reductions.

However, its premiere medical droid, the FX, remains in use throughout the galaxy, primarily in the Outer Rim territories.

Rebaxan Columni

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

MSE "Mouse" Droids

Never a major galactic corporate entity, Rebaxan Columni is best known for a single product, the
MSE-6 "Mouse" droid.

Overproduced in huge numbers, the small, durable MSEs sunk the company, but they are still found, like mechanical vermin, throughout installations in
the galaxy.

Serv-O-Droid

Fields:

Droids

Well-Known Products:

DUM Pit Droids, TT-8L Household Droid

Serv-O-Droid is an ancient company that made its initial mark in heavy labor droids. It branched
into a number of other droid models but could not keep itself afloat, eventually going bankrupt. So universal were its droids that its survivors may
still be found throughout the galaxy, primarily on backwater worlds where droids survive in brutal conditions. Serv-O-Droid parts are hard to find
because the droid design was such that only creative jury-rigging keeps them functional.
